On the eve of Independence Day, a certain thought popped up in my mind: Indian women, are they really independent? As the dictionary says, the literal meaning of the word ‘independence’ is self-sufficiency, self-reliance, autonomy, freedom, liberty etc. Women folks, can they walk safe down the street at night without fear of being shouted at, followed, grabbed, or worse. I think the answer is ‘no’.
Says Palak, a student of a well-known Dental College, ‘I do walk on my own at night, but not without constantly looking over my shoulder, and sometimes even pretending to be on the phone with my father or brother whenever I see a group of guys walking near me.’
‘The clothes I wear depend on the company that I am with, and which transport I am going to use,’ adds Palak.
So a girl doesn’t feel safe at night, she doesn’t even have the least freedom of wearing the clothes of her choice. Is it only enough being a constitutionally independent country? Are we living with complete freedom, are we really liberated? These are the few questions we have to ponder upon.
It’s been years since we are free from the clutches of British rule in India. Today standing here after years, do our women feel the freedom, freedom from the atrocities against them?
Let us remember our very own Swami Vivekananda, and say, ‘There is no chance of welfare, unless the condition of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on one wing.’
Thanks!
